"I am a believer of God. Before coming to 'Bigg Boss', I promised myself if I win the show, I shall offer prayers at Ajmer Sharif, Now that I have won the show, I will go there for sure," DIpika added. She won herself a trophy by the show's host Salman Khan and also a prize money worth Rs 30 Lakh. She also praised Salman for being the "kindest" host and claims that he was the one who helped her in improving her mistakes throughout the show.

"Salman sir is one of the kindest people. Every weekend he used to come and tell us where we are going wrong in the show. He taught me many things," the 32-year-old said in her interview. "And my dream came true when I performed with him in the grand finale episode. That was a fan girl moment for me, will miss him especially his scoldings," she added.

Talking about her journey, Dipika said that it was filled with high and low moments throughout and she would cherish this experience for life. She survived in the Big Boss house for all 90 days.

"This show has tested my patience and has made me so strong that now I won't hesitate to fight any obstacle. My patience level has increased so much, I hope i would fight less with Shoaib Ibrahim (her husband-actor)," she said.
